I have seen some strange behavior and maybe they are bugs:
- It's not enough to click on the X at the top right corner of Seamonkey to close it, because in this way it remains active with an icon on the left low corner on panel.
To really stop it needs to select quit on its menu (or the same shortcut on keys, of course).
I don't have the same feel as Sage for Opera, personally I prefer Firefox interface... I see the reason to put Seamonkey instead, but in my opinion it's not so responsive even if it should be similar.
- The resolution change is good and it seems better than the previous, now I found immediately the right one for my needs and it correctly fit the screen, with noveau. But, if I try to change it again, accepting to start xorg wizard the system hangs up.
- Now there isn't the main menu by clicking on any position on screen.
- I still think that it could be better to have a "waiting signal" because there are programs taking some seconds to start.

Just a little last note.
I asked You about the "auto-update" of Firefox... having a look in Preferences-Advanced-Updates, I have seen that the default option is set on automatic, so I think it has been the problem I told You.

About the clicking for menu, I solved by myself (changing the mouse... ), but I can confirm the other two points:
- The system becomes completely stopped the second time I run the xorg wizard. There are no way to resume it and I have to switch off
- There are some programs and processes requiring some seconds to start. It isn't a problem in itself but in my opinion it isn't good when you click and nothing happens on screen, so maybe it could be better to have any "waiting signal" (like running clock or whatsoever).

hello:
I am facing an issue. When ever I want to access a memory stick of my Cell phone as USB Drive, carolina detects it as USB 3G Modem. I checked on different flavors of Puppy Linux. Works only on Lucid 528 (I can access the folders and files of memory stick like a normal USB drive) , but mostly saluki/ carolina and slako detects it as USB 3G Modem. Can anyone have an idea how to force carolina to access the memory card of my cell phone?
Thnx in advance.

It's strange this different behavior and I have to say that I haven't any sure trick to suggest... I'm not skilled enough !
Never the less, in my opinion it could be interesting to check how the system recognize the usb.
The only things I have in mind are:
- to have a look using gparted, and
- to see the result of command lsusb in terminal

When ever I want to access a memory stick of my Cell phone as USB Drive, carolina detects it as USB 3G Modem.

Usually when the phone menu appears with the question - how it wants to use. In a modem or card. In some phones, this switching occurs in the phone settings.
This is it automatically switches to the modem usb_modeswitch.

I can access my smart-phone (android) as a camera. I can also access the folders by installing an ftp app to the cell-phone, and then accessing it via FireFtp. Either way, there's so much new hardware out there in terms of cell-phones, that it'd be nearly impossible to address each case individually. If you find a solution, be sure to post it; it may be relevant to another user looking to do the same...

Only just noticed your return, el - thought we'd lost Carolina. Great news.

replaced Firefox/Thunderbird with Seamonkey

Not so good. Setting aside my own prejudice against SM, you'll have noticed a lot of problems with it recently, along with adverse comments about FF and other Mozilla antics. Micko found one issue with Opera recently, but it's still the fastest, most reliable, and probably smallest. The Norwegian developers are exceptionally responsive to suggestions and assistance, so it's still the best bet, even though BK doesn't use it. All the other browsers have issues, too! Except Dillo?!

Dillo isn't satisfactory for a modern distro...certainly usefull as an html viewer, but not as the default browser...it lacks too much functionality.. Nor is Midori...too many bugs. However, I agree with you in terms of Opera. That said, Seamonkey is a soft landing from the FF that was used in previous versions of Carolina. Also, it takes care of two birds with one stone...namely, the email client. But I'm with you concerning Opera; I think it is underrated. But for Carolina, Seamonkey is the solution to the upgrading woes....however, future versions of Carolina may vary. We reserve the right to change the default browser as we feel necessary..

@ shelezyaka : when I connect my cell phone through a cable using usb port. the cell phone gave me an option to choose as USB or COMport. I obviously choose as USB.
@ Elroy: I m searching on the web, when ever I solved to do that I will post here.
Thanx & Regards

Good gracious, not recommending Dillo as a permanent fixture. Means to an end for folks to find and install their preferred apps., ie an adjunct to PPM to enable basic browsing. Someone is reporting the latest Links as a similar interim option. Apparently Links has major strides in development; did I see a graphics version or is those old spots before the eyes?!
Whatever, the Moz. Foundation isn't what it used to be - bloat, crashes, freezing, etc seem to crop up daily in complaints. This morning's radio highlighting the data-mining excesses of Google/Android and Facebook.

When Booting up I got a message that the main file puppy_lina_006.sfs,
failed to load: invalid argument. However, Carolina does continue to boot
to the desktop.

Stuff appears to be missing from the menu like Office and Internet.
I was able to get online with no problem!.
I downloaded firefox 16 and told it not to update.

I recopied the main file puppy_lina_006.sfs and rebooted.
Still got same message as before.

Tried it with a new savefile still the same message.

What should I do now?

That's strange Pete, if the md5 is correct then it must be ok, the copy I have the md5 is

Code:

986b4f9d8aa8dd81ee99ce4743b02ed7 lina-006-rc.iso

though I did create a new ISO with the latest delta that is HERE which I'm testing at the moment, this version doesn't have any of the problems you mention._________________Carolina:Recent Repository Additions

The firmware ucode is at: /lib/modules/all-firmware/iwlwifi/lib/firmware
It should be at: /lib/modules/all-firmware/iwlwifi/lib/firmware/iwlwifi

Moving it (adding the missing iwlwifi directory) brought up the 5300AGN wireless straightaway.

Posting from it now using my opera that lives in the commons (boot partition).

Guess I'm on Carolina_006rc Lite _________________Pups currently in kennel LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64, and LxPupBB for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS. Now tazpup for puzzles
